Perhaps the most famous of all Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes mysteries, this 1902 novel follows the great detective as he investigates a death seemingly caused by a family curse, in the form of a supernatural hellhound. The latest victim, Sir Charles Baskerville, apparently died of a heart attack after encountering the beast on the moors, and Sir Henry, last heir of the Baskerville estate, fears that the vengeful hound will destroy him as well. Like the other titles in this series of affordable classics, this book has been reset in fresh type. It includes a frontispiece illustration and a brief biography of the author.
